They don't lie when they say pregnancy never gets easier, I suppose my second trimester was easier then the first and third, but still not my cup of tea. Eventually around 32 weeks you feel like I can't get any bigger but then bam you do. I grew in weird spurts so instead of the steady 1 pound a week, id go weeks without gaining anything and then gain 4 pounds in one week. Lets just say I really did grow over night and it was a little crazy, instead of gradual id look in the mirror and think whoa I'm big. He is still constantly moving, especially when i lay down to go to bed, i swear he thinks its dance party time. As obnoxious as it is I am glad I know he is alright in there, although I worry how energetic he will become once he is born :O

They also say the last few weeks are the longest and they don't lie there either. I am super uncomfortable and I can't walk or stand for very long without my pelvis legs and back killing me for days. So like I tell every one my days are spent laying around being pregnant. Only 5 weeks to go til we get to meet this little guy in person, and my parents and my mother in law are coming down to help when he is born which is going to be so nice. I am nervous worried and scared but at the same time I am ready to be a mama to this little human thats been growing inside me the past 8 months.
Next post will be labor and delivery! Due March 30th.
Some random tidbits of my 3rd trimester - I can no longer wear my wedding rings, I passed my gestational diabetes test woot! I have had the flu and whopping cough vaccines, I have had a cold/cough twice (Dec & Feb), got my first hemorrhoid (the worst), gained 34 pounds so far, did the hospital tour and birthing class, finished the nursery, had 3 baby showers, went to triage for decreased fetal movement (everything was fine)
